World's Tallest Christmas Tree cities go Head to Head !!

Thought I posted this already, but guess not.

 

In December, I heard about a 2nd tallest Christmas tree in California. Ended up measuring it as a tangent on my redwoods trip. Got 151.26 feet.

 

Long story short, I triggered this article with a call to the Idaho newspaper. Never realized that within a week, that surveyors would be measuring the Idaho pine - LOL

The town of Ferndale is on the coast. Here's a page I put together, with a long note about their tree.

 

Ferndale Historic Landmark in Humboldt County.

 

It would be nice to find the real tree height merely to get the facts squared away. Unlikely that someone will sponsor us to do it. But who knows. We could do a better measure than most surveyors because high and low grade is subjective, and based on the tree's trunk.

 

If the surveyors in Idaho were accurate, they could even be a full foot off and the Ferndale tree is now the tallest by any measurement. Even the old 150 foot number that's been lingering for a while.
